A sugar detox involves intentionally eliminating or drastically reducing added sugars from your diet for a set period to reset your body's response and lessen sugar cravings.
Key benefits include increased energy, improved mood, better skin health, potential weight management, reduced risk of chronic diseases, and significantly diminished sugar cravings.
Common durations range from 3 days to 2-4 weeks. The initial withdrawal phase often lasts 3-7 days, with benefits becoming more pronounced over longer periods.
Common symptoms include headaches, fatigue, irritability, dizziness, nausea, and intense sugar cravings, which typically subside within the first week.
Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, desserts, refined carbohydrates, and hidden sugars in sauces, dressings, and many packaged goods. Focus on whole, unprocessed foods.
